Hard to hide and show restraint
When you're shining in the rain
Damp streets, neon lights
Reflecting on my inner light
Hold up
Shine
Hold up
Shed light, what's on your mind
Reflecting under city lights
Without a care or fear is how we living life
Though the vibe's right, I wanted more
When it's over, forgot what I was runnin' toward
I want to chill with a familiar face
Get lost in their eyes, without a trace
And contemplate if anyone can see me now
Sealed lips, inner soul screaming out
To get back to my roots and find some fertile ground
But I'm the seed that grew when concrete was all around
These streets ain't forgiving, and they don't nurture much
But sure as rain falls, I rise and shine, 'til I burn when touched
Head in the clouds dreaming of clearer skies
Fins out of water by the riverside
Close to home but it felt out of reach
But all along, it's inside of me
Hard to hide and show restraint
When you're shining in the rain
Damp streets, neon lights
Reflecting all my inner light
Hold up
Shine
Hold up
Shed light, what's on your mind
I grapple with duality and bend reality
Live my dreams and make my life a non-fiction fantasy
Journaling on my tablet, writing calligraphy
In an ancient park, a stone's throw from a city street
Third eye opens as the city sleeps
Quiet the chaos, sync up with my inner peace
I'm present, reflecting on where I've been
No matter where I go, I can return again
Hard to hide and show restraint
When you're shining in the rain
Damp streets, neon lights
Reflecting on my inner light
Hold up
Shine
Hold up
Shed light, what's on your mind
